Method for supporting real-time matching between instructor and student in telephony lecture

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for supporting a real-time lecture on any subject via telephone, in which if an instructor expresses, via a terminal, an intention to currently provide a lecture to a list of lecture available subjects that have been previously registered: a process of measuring an expected quality of media traffic between anInternet telephone server and an instructor terminal and quantifying and storing the same is added, and if a student who wants a real-time lecture on any subject chooses an instructor from a list of currently lecture available instructors for the subject in accordance with an expected telephone call quality or his / her preferences, and requests a real-time lecture with simple additional information such as a subject or a lecture time, the instructor accepts the lecture after confirming the additional information; before performing an actual telephone connection, an expected quality of the media traffic between the instructor terminal and a student terminal is measured, and when the expected quality is below a predetermined reference value, the instructor and the student are notified, and when the expected quality meets the reference value or the instructor and the student agree, it is supported to connect a telephone for a real-time lecture between the instructor and the student; and in the case of an ordinary telephone, only an actual telephone connection is supported.

Description

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a service that allows instructors and students to offer and request lectures on specific subjects, at specific times and locations. Students can select their preferred instructor and location, and the service supports optimal call quality by predicting call quality. The service also includes an optional method for predicting the quality of the lecture. Overall, this system provides flexibility and cost-effectiveness for learning and training.

Problems solved by technology

However, when compared to a circuit switching analog telephone which uses a channel with a fixed bandwidth assigned in advance, a packet switching Internet Protocol based telephone always has an issue of call quality.
